Marina Medical is excited to anounce a new initiative for patients in our community with high cardiovascular risk and/or established cardiovascular disease.
- Have you developed angina, had a heart attack, a cardiac stent or bypass surgery recently?
- Has your doctor told you, you are at risk of cardiac problems?
- Do you want to know more about your condition and learn how to take control?
If you answered ‘yes’ to any of these questions you are invited to attend a series of three talks and demonstrations held at Marina Fitness, in the Compass Building here in Half Moon Bay.
Cardiac Rehab @ the Marina has been developed with the support and encouragement of Easthealth, our local Primary Health Organisation (PHO).
• Based on the successful Middlemore Hospital Cardiac Rehabilitation model
• Multi-disciplinary approach, drawing expertise and experience from many health professionals
• Meet others who are “in the same boat” and support one another
